1812. BACON with CITRUS GLAZE

serves four


8 slices bacon
2 naval oranges
1 tablespoon honey

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lay bacon on wire racks on a baking sheet. Juice oranges into a small saucepan, add honey. Cook over medium heat until glaze is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes.

Brush some glaze over the bacon, and bake for 5 minutes. Brush with more glaze. Continue to bake until golden, about 8-10 minutes more. Brush bacon with remaining glaze, and transfer to a parchment- or paper-towel-lined plate to drain before serving.
